Is it weird that...
| There nothing wrong with slice of life g/u/rl.
| Please, do go on OP.
| I say "slice of life" when I really mean the most basic routine imaginable. I understand having originality, and going out and experiencing amazing things, but Im more content with living in a small apartment and drinking cheap cocoa then going out and traveling or something. Is that weird? I feel like it's because I've been desensitized due to the media saying how bad the world is, that my worldview has become "give me the smallest hand that's possible to deal"
| Glad I clicked this. Had a feeling it'd be a good post. I agree and understand with your feelings OP! Your description is perfect. Living in a small apartment and drinking cheap cocoa. I've often wondered why this sort of thing appeals to me. I think it's because it represents a rejection of what society tells me "success" is. And it feels appreciative of the machine to live life like a cog. Like I understand my fellow humans maybe just a little better..since most ppl live that way
| I also think it's appealing because trying to do more often feels like an implicit acknowledgement that your life as it is isn't good enough. Whereas living like you've "given up", especially if you CHOOSE it like you are describing, is empowering, because it implies "I am satisfied ALREADY"
| I'm not sure if I should find it comforting or worrysome that others feel the same way, as no one I know irl shares the same feel for life as I do

| My lack of ambition leads me to feel like my only goal in lide is too feel like I'm in someone's "slice of life" artwork?
